Method: Context::TestCase::ClassMethods#shared

Defined in:
lib/context/shared_behavior.rb

#shared(name, &block) ⇒ Object

Share behavior among different contexts. This creates a module (actually, a Module subclass) that is included using the use method (or one of its aliases) provided by context or include if you know the module’s constant name.

Examples

shared "other things" do
  it "should do things but not some things" do
    # behavior is fun
  end
end

use "other things"
# or...
it_should_behave_like "other things"

shared :client do
  it "should be a client to our server" do
    # TODO: client behavior here
  end
end

use :client
# or...
uses "client"
behaves_like "client"
